I am currently a doctoral candidate at Louisiana Tech University, pursuing a doctorate in Industrial / Organizational Psychology. I plan to have my dissertation completed by the end of 2023, if not sooner. While finishing my Ph.D., I also am interested in pursuing industry experience, preferably within the areas of People Analytics, Talent Management, and/or Assessment Development (for selection).
The focus of my academics outside of coursework has been on psychometrics (e.g., IRT, CAT) and developing assessments for selection. For example, developing a simplistic Automatic Item Generation numeric sequence test and my dissertation, which pertains to a situational judgment test. My interests however, also include talent management, especially methods of retaining talent. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have.
